Google is positioning this as “TV meets Web, Web meets TV.”
Google TV features 802.11n Wi-Fi, 2 HDMI-out ports, USB ports and Dolby 5.1 surround sound. Video chat comes in high def at 720p. Remote control apps for your iPhone or Android phone are forthcoming.
It's also likely to include the newish YouTube Store.
